Ohhhh how I forgot how much I LOVE rice krispy treats!
Growing up, rice krispy treats were my go-to contribution to student council bake sales. (Have I ever mentioned that I was president of student council in high school?! Bake sales were 100% my jam!)
Rice krispy treats are SO easy to make, and who doesn’t love an ooey, gooey, sticky, fluffy rice krispy treat?!
When I was thinking of a fun Halloween treat to share, I knew I’d have to elevate the classic rice krispy treat to take it to a whole other level… and trust me, the SunButter addition is KEY!
I am SO excited for you to make this recipe…
Unlike many sweet treats where you have to be soooo incredibly patient for your creation to come out of the oven, krispy treats are ready in minutes. Sure, clean up can be a bit of a pain with all the stickiness, but it’s definitely worth it.
We’re approaching one of the hardest seasons for those of us with food allergies… the holidays. With Halloween around the corner that can be full of tricks, then large dinners with friends and family, it can be overwhelming. That’s why I wanted to share a treat, just for you!
I hope you’ll check out my 5 top tips to safely navigate the holiday season with food allergies I shared last year – it’s chock full of information so you feel confident entering the holiday season.
One of my top tips is to bring a safe dish you know you can enjoy. Personally, I know dessert time can feel restrictive with my nut allergies, so I often like to bring a dessert with me. And I’m thinking this year these SunButter Rice Krispy Treats will be my treat (without any tricks)!

Don’t be fooled… this isn’t a “healthy” treat, it’s just dessert. But a balanced diet has room for indulgences every once in a while (and those indulgences don’t have to be the healthier versions of your favorites!). Remember: Food is meant to be enjoyed – yes, even for those of us with food allergies and intolerances – so be sure to savor every bite!
Plus, this dessert is made with just a handful of ingredients…
Marshmallows – Often made with corn syrup, but if you want an alternative, you can try Dandie’s Marshmallows. They’re vegan too.
Brown Rice Crisps – OK, so maybe I “healthified” this recipe just a little by using Brown Rice Crisps, but there’s really not all that much of a difference between these and the Rice Krispies you grew up on.
Natural SunButter – I chose Natural SunButter for this recipe because it’s made with just 3 simple ingredients – sunflower seeds, sugar, and salt. The added sweetness is perfect for a dessert!
Let’s make ‘em…

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (or dairy-free alternative, if needed)
- 4 cups large marshmallows
- 5 cups brown rice crisp cereal
- 1/2 cup Natural SunButter
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add butter to a medium stock pot over low heat until melted. Then add marshmallows. Continuously stir with a wooden spoon until melted, about 5 minutes.
- When the marshmallows are fully melted, remove from heat and mix in brown rice crisp cereal. The mixture will be very sticky. Then add Natural SunButter. Mix until evenly distributed and well combined.
- Pour the rice krispy mixture into the lined pan and press down with an additional sheet of parchment paper, until flat on top. Let cool completely.
- Once cooled (about 10 minutes), cut into 9-12 squares and serve. Store in an air-tight container. Enjoy!
